Chapter 388: The Undercurrent Outside the Gate

Chapter 388: The Undercurrent Outside the Gate

Being in a high position will inevitably bring out the momentum of a person in a high position, Jiang Feng has never understood what this momentum is like, many of his actions that have crossed over are quite childish in the eyes of people at this time, to put it in good words, it is called innocent, in bad words, it is called naïve and ridiculous.

Those generals and veterans of the Jiang family's army, who have followed Jiang Feng for many years, know that their commander can really be said to have the courage of ten thousand people, and there are many people who have seen the scene of wielding a knife to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

Moreover, these soldiers and Jiang Feng all started from hardship, how Jiang Feng was giggling on the outside they had already automatically ignored the past, they just knew that Jiang Feng was the strongest person in the Jiang family's army, and they were not thin on them, which was enough to make them die and be loyal.

However, those who joined later were different, after all, Liu Shunhua's loyalty to Jiang Feng because of his in-laws was just a special case, and other people still had to observe what Jiang Feng was outstanding about, Jiang Feng's ability to accumulate wealth was already famous in the world, and he had the reputation of turning stones into gold, but for most people, the first impression would have the greatest impact on their judgment.

The so-called position must have its own momentum, to show the grandeur of the supreme leaders in Huazhou, Guanwai, and Yizhou, Liu Shunhua, who has been up and down in the officialdom for many years, and has many experiences in the center and localities, naturally understands this truth, and has repeatedly advised Jiang Feng to pay attention to his image.

The biggest leader of Jiang Feng in his previous life was the boss of the school gang, and after crossing over, he also started to sit up from the small school patrolling the streets, and he has always been a military general who leads the troops and guards the place, what kind of grandeur and momentum experience will there be.

Speaking of which, there are still various benefits to the information explosion society, and the large amount of information and images about the leaders that Jiang Feng came into contact with before crossing over is a ready-made model that can be used to learn.

Therefore, Jiang Feng now often likes to wave his hands and other actions, and maintains the state of practice between actions, which makes his body appear particularly stable, and gives people a feeling of stability. Although he himself sometimes feels quite ridiculous, the people around him are not low.

Many literati of the Minwei had to meet Jiang Feng, the governor of Huazhou, after joining the Taishou Mansion of Huazhou, and when they met, Jiang Feng wore elegant clothes, and his posture of being reserved and steady and cordial often made people praise him after the visit, saying that he really had the momentum of a person who had achieved great things.

In the living room of Liu Twelve's house, Jiang Feng finished speaking, and at the same time habitually waved his hand to strengthen the momentum of his speech, but after doing this action, he himself smiled dumbly, thinking that he had really done too much, and in front of his cronies, he actually used these actions unconsciously.

Liu Twelve was also one of the people who advised Jiang Feng to pack himself that day, but at this time, Liu Twelve was in a state of excitement, the general regiment outside the customs was trained, which was actually equivalent to his younger brother stepping into the highest level of the military system again, Liu Twelve was stunned for a while, and regardless of Jiang Feng, who was dumbly smiling there, he shouted rudely outside:

"Call Thirteen over, Thirteen come over!"

It seems that Liu Shisan should be not far from this banquet hall, and the subordinates waiting outside have not yet moved, and he has already hurried over. When Liu Shisan saw Jiang Feng, he first habitually stepped forward and gave a military salute.

Liu Twelve was already a little trilled when he spoke, obviously extremely excited, and said:

"Thirteen, get me out of my wheelchair, quick!"

Liu 13 didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly walked over to help Liu 12, and Liu 12 opened his mouth there and said:

"The younger brother of the student has caused so much trouble to Lord Dudu, it is not a pity to die, but Lord Dudu is so magnanimous and generous, and he has awarded such an important position to the Guanwai General Tuanlian, please give my brother a bow!"

Hearing this appointment, Liu Shisan, who was over there, was also startled, and then became excited, helping his brother to stand up from the wheelchair, and then the two brothers knelt on the ground, because Liu Twelve's legs were disabled, whether it was the Governor's Mansion or the Taishou Mansion, there was a special case, that is, Liu Twelve saw someone with a higher rank and rank than him, and he only needed to owe a courtesy.

This is actually a privilege, in the court of the Ming Dynasty, it doesn't matter if you are paralyzed or half-paralyzed, if you don't bow down when you see the superior, then you can be punished.

Jiang Feng's trust and granting this official position made the Liu brothers grateful, and the two brothers knelt on the ground and bowed to Jiang Feng, the same gift can actually be said to be a crime of great disrespect, because this is clearly a form of courtiers bowing to the emperor.

Liu Shisan was already speechless with excitement there, bowing down there and trembling all over his body, Jiang Feng also calmed down, walked forward and first dragged Liu Shisan, looking at this young man who was a little unruly in the past, his face was full of that kind of expression of swearing to serve his life, Jiang Feng opened his mouth and said encouragingly:

"Do it well, I believe in you, and you brothers should not behave like this, thirteen, quickly lift your brother up from the ground!"

In a reclamation manor outside the Guan, near the end of the Liao River, the slaves who had finished a hard day's work finally had time to rest, or rather eat and sleep.

At present, the labor of slaves outside the customs is extremely insufficient, and the latest batch of replenishments has not yet been transported from Korea, and the guards must squeeze the labor of the slaves to the maximum extent, otherwise the fields obtained will not produce much and make no profit.

Although the transportation inside and outside the customs has been cut off, there is a large lack of labor in Beijing, Beizhili, Shandong, and Hebei, as well as the occupation of labor in handicraft workshops and workshops, so there is a large shortage of grain in the customs and it is necessary to buy, which is not good news for these Han people homesteaders outside the gates, after all, a lot of grain from the homesteaders has to be used as their own rations, and they don't sell much, and Jiang Feng's army also has to levy a part of it.

The guards who were given a large amount of land were different, their land area was very large, most of them were the essence of the land left by the owner of the reclamation manor, and a large number of slaves were used for farming, and most of the production was used for sale, and the more things produced, the higher the profit.

The oppression of the slaves by the guards was even more cruel than that of the previous lord of the manor, and the newly formed regiment of the Kanwai Hanmin became an accomplice to assist them.

Although the exiles did not become free people outside the customs for a long time, they consciously or unconsciously cultivated a sense of superiority of the Han people, and they regarded the slaves as the same existence as livestock, and even the livestock was inferior, a Korean slave was about three taels of silver, a good horse was more than ten taels, and the price of ploughing cattle was higher.

When the slaves were working, if there was anything that did not satisfy the regimental training and the guards, they were immediately killed and buried in the earth.

Speaking of which, compared with last year, the slaves outside the gate have eaten a lot, and everyone understands that they need physical strength to work.

The well-fed slaves were not in the same state as last year, and despite the day's hard work under the threat of death, they still had some superfluous spirits.

Most of the slaves outside the border were Korean slaves, and although they were taken from all over the Korean Peninsula, the Korean kingdom had a total population of more than 4 million people, and now there are more than 500,000 slaves.

The guards are also poor and rich, and after obtaining the land, they only know how to use high-pressure means to drive the slaves to work, and they have no idea about the appearance of the leader among the slaves, but they feel that after there is such a person, they can make the slaves work more efficiently, and they have the meaning of razing and razing, and they have given these slave leaders relatively good treatment.

This led to higher treatment of the slave leaders and increased their prestige among the slaves.

In the shack, several leaders saw that the lights had been turned off in the houses of the guards and regimental trainers, and several people gathered together to discuss in a whisper:

"Damn wolves have taken us captive from our homeland to this place, and we live a life that is inferior to cattle and horses, and we never know if we will see the sun the next day......"

The expressions of the people who said this were very calm, but the faces of several people around them showed sad and angry looks, these people are not considered civilians among the North Koreans, they are all officials of the Shilin Party of the Kim Jong Wuyi Department, although they are not of high rank, but most of them are North Korean landlord families, and there are inextricable relationships between domestic slaves and tenants.

If Jiang Feng was running the manor outside the gate at the beginning, then all the people who could hold each other among the slaves would be separated, but in the past, this was run by the Jingshi merchant group, and Jiang Feng would not be nosy at all, and even preferred the other party to have more trouble.

Now after occupying the Guanwai, everything is very hasty, many things have not been completely resolved, and there are all kinds of hidden dangers.

The leader of this Korean slave is named Park Bingxian, who used to be a military attache of the sixth grade, and he can be regarded as a little courageous, but unfortunately when the Shilin Party was arrested by Li Rengong and Jiang Feng, he was not spared, and the whole family was arrested outside the pass, and he was lucky to live until now.

"In a few days, the guards of the manor will be changing guards with those people in the grassland, and it is very busy at this time, and this is our chance!!"

Pu Bingxian said categorically there.
